Not as much magic as his "stump" bending to grab things while climbing out of the bear pit last year.

Got it.
Thanks.
So its widely known that those are not Roberts kids?
Or Stannis knows at least.

Well, Stannis apparently sent letters to everyone and their mother about it. So everyone knows, but officially they're just vicious rumors put out by a jealous uncle who wants the throne for himself.

Awesome.
Ned sent a letter to Stannis before he died of his findings. It was addressed in the s2 opener when Stannis first appeared I believe.

So are there any "purple wedding" reaction videos coming out of Sunday's episode? Because those were fun to watch until people started faking them.
He was obviously in on it because he whisked Sansa away.
But no way was he the orchestrator. Not clever or resourceful enough. I'll gladly eat crow (lol) if he was the grand architect.

Love Stannis. You can always count on him for simple yet poignant words of wisdom.
His reign would likely bring unimaginable suffering & death as many in Westeros refused to disavow their false gods in favor the Lord of Light's warmth. Those be the breaks, though. I welcome the era of Stannis.
True, but show has hinted that bastards can be brought into the family proper. Catelyn broke a vow to herself to love Jon Snow and convince Ned to make him a Stark. Roose also implies Ramsay will be rewarded with the Bolton name if he successfully reclaims those Northern territories from the Greyjoys.

I never thought I'd feel sorry for Theon Greyjoy after his behavior and conduct - at times, I hated him even more than Joffrey - but I would never wish this sort of punishment and treatment on my worst enemy. Put him out of his misery already.

HAHAHAHAHA evil gif..but i laugh..

Nose how to spell and rede to
Haha yeah that cut was brutal
I have to believe his sister is gonna come to save him soon. That whole crew of Ramsey, Bolton and the guy who cut off Jaime's hand are way overdue for getting what's coming.
Subtle.
laughed out loud at this moment.
Also have just seen the newest episode, finally an episode with a happy end

One more reminder that we're not comparing the books and the show in this thread. Thank you.
Just rewatched and man, the wedding feast just goes on and on and on and on (in a good way).
What a masterpiece this scene is. Everybody important gets a reaction shot as Joff gets what's coming to him.
And yes, Jack Gleeson deserves all the praise we can give. What a terrific final episode for him.
Joffrey will be missed.

Grr! I wish book readers and non-book reading speculators would be more careful. I don't want to get accidentally spoiled by this thread.
Can't we just, in this thread, pretend the books don't exist?

Did Robert Baratheon ever fuck Cersei? I always assumed that he loathed her so he never touched her. And if he did how does she not have at least one of his kids?
And if so, how did he not know Cersei's 3 kids werent his?

Lol I can't believe I missed that.
He was usually so plastered by the time he got into bed with her, he wouldn't remember if he had been with her or not.

I know, but I wanted to ask again as he's been reminding people frequently since last night's episode but lots of book chatter is popping up anyway =/
Same here. I want to read them since then no one can spoil the story to me but at the same I'm afraid that doing so will affect my enjoyment of the show.
Can we please stop the "omg I got spoiled on a character death" posts? IMO, that's spoiling that someone important is going to die. I know this is GoT, and everyone dies, but still... am I alone on this? It's like watching a movie with someone who goes, "ooh! pay attention here!" -- wtf...
As for last night's episode, I only wish we got to see someone put a blade in Joffrey. His death was welcome news, but having it happen the way it did made it bittersweet.
My guesses as to who did it:
- none of the obvious players (Sansa, Tyrion, the Tyrell women, Oberyn). I think the show takes itself too seriously to let it be someone who they try to steer you towards.
- apologies for forgetting her name, but the tall blonde woman who accompanied Jamie. She was loyal to Renly and Cat Stark. Seems like she'd want revenge in their names, and her scene was kind of shoe-horned in. I thought it was strange she approached the throne. My only problem is that she strikes me as the type to stab him in the throat, not do it silently and sneakily... which leads me to my final guess
- Littlefinger, who must have been devastated to hear Cat Stark was murdered. The style fits him perfectly, plus he has the perfect alibi -- he was gone at the time.
Can't wait to see how this all plays out.

So this! I wanted him to see it coming so bad!
Yeah I was a bit worried about that... So many theories put out so quickly that seem to perfectly catch every super small subtle little detail in the show. And it is very hard to know who is guessing fairly vs who is already on the know.

While I don't think she did it, now you mention her that scene was rather odd.
Seemed like a very artificial way to get Cersei to tell her to back off. I'd have thought it more likely Brienne started to talk to Jamie then Cersei comes over and has the very same conversation right in front of him to embarrass her

Joffrey's death and the reactions of non-book readers reminds me of a character death in another HBO show, The Wire (season 5), where people felt that the character that died didn't get the death he or she "deserved".
People who have watched The Wire probably know exactly what and who I'm talking about.

I think it's one of those "open secrets" now, like the sexuality of Renly, that nobody will actually being up for fear of being beheaded.

Ugh. Please no. Not everyone can or wants to jump through hoops to view them. They need to mature first. Give them another 5 years or so to become standard.
I love this image. Poor guy. So casual. *whack*It was Varys. Look at his rage, seething under his cloak.
I loved those episodes, but I don't remember that line. Somehow it was so subtle it didn't stick in my head. I love South Park though. It's very intelligently written for something that takes 6 days to create every week.Show is great, dude.
The spoiler was stated in the middle of a ramble ("and whengets poisoned..") so I think most people would've either disregarded it as a joke or simply not catch it at all. I certainly didn't catch it the first time I saw the episode, and when I did I didn't necessarily believe it until I saw the pieces falling into place last night.Joffrey
This made me laugh.
Subtle.

Stannis sent ravens to each of the kingdoms relaying Ned's stark's message. "Let no one claim ignorant" I think he put it.
Really one of the best episodes and finally justice! The wedding was just so great. The Tyrion-Joffrey face-off was really good and the final minute of the episode just delivered what EVERYONE wanted. I really liked that lady Olenna mentioned the red wedding and the sad fact that Robb died at his wedding. The purple wedding finally did it! I'm so happy right now, I can't believe it.
Other than that, the Greyjoy-Bolton scene was great. Poor Theon, I feel really sorry about him. I despised him at first but the change to Rick really changed my opinion on him. I wanted him to cut his throat so bad... Fucking Bolton bastard...

Yep. Although at least this was painful and there was at least a short sense of suffering unlike the Wire one where there was some realization but not necessarily as much pain.
I think that death was far more traumatic to the viewers though. More on par with hypothetically Tyrion dying last night instead.

I've got to say I love Oberyn already. The guy seems like the ultimate badass.
Hidden penis behind Joffrey during the banquet? The crown defines the head and the sigils of Baratheon and Lannister decorate the balls?
Maybe it's just me.
It wouldn't be a GoT episode if there weren't a penis somewhere...
When the birds flew away I kept thinking what if there was a stripper in that cake? I really expected some bloodied hand instead of dead pigeons at some point. Scary.
Real-world advice: don't put birds in your cake. They're going to shit in it.
